LEFT FIELD: Read my memoir for free



"David Wilson has lived a life and a half. I was proud to play a minor role in War Child, an organisation in which David was inspirational. The broken world needed people like David then; it still does and it always will" -- Sir Tom Stoppard


"David Wilson is an adventurer and a free-thinker who ... did something truly useful with his life. His stubborn and yet self-effacing commitment to his ideals carried him through many daunting situations, and his sense of humour kept him able to see the funny side"-- Brian Eno

"What a life this man has led" -- Dorothy Byrne, former head of Channel 4 TV News

"David Wilson is a national treasure"-- Mandla Langa, Winner of 2009 Commonwealth Prize

"This is the work of a determined guy who is prepared to expose fraud and injustice wherever he finds it "-- David Hencke. Former Guardian investigative journalist

 "One of the key people of my life has finished his book. There is a chapter that describes the times we spent together. What good times we had while giving spirit to the Pavarotti Music Centre. This was after my orphanage times and steered me to who I am and what I do today. Thank you David" -- Orhan (Oha) Maslo, Director Mostar Rock School

"Your relationship with your elderly father is described in such beautiful style that it would not be out of place from a literary novel by an established and seasoned author" - -Ed Victor Literary Agency

"Left Field is fantastic. So much I don’t know about someone I know well… and so much vivid colour around the bits I did know well. The Mostar sections are incredible - and salutary"-- Michael Walling, Artistic Director, Border Crossings
